I’m behind with some nifty links for October and November:
It’s gift buying season, and if you have children’s books on your list, the Cybils 2008 nomination list, broken down by category, is a terrific way to find current titles for the children you love.
I’m not quite sure what happened to October, so I’m going to try to get caught up with the October edition of the Carnival of Children’s Literature, “Snuggle Up with a Children’s Book”, especially since it’s better snuggling weather now. I’m currently snuggling up with the kids and a rat, as we read through the fascinating A Rat’s Tale by Tor Seidler, illustrated by Fred Marcellino; it’s part of our NYC readathon before we take off.
The October edition of the Carnival of the Elitist Bastards, “We Be Sailin’ the Wine Dark Seas”, is up. Eggheads of the world, unite. And celebrate!
The New York Times explores the question, “When does a recipe become a science project?” in the recent article, “Dry-Ice Martini and Electric Cake”. For kitchen chemists everywhere.
A new Yahoo group from my online friend Suji: the secular LivingScience books group, inspired by the Living Math website.

Thanks Becky :) Looking forward to The Rat’s Tale :)
Becky, thanks for mentioning that Living Science group. Even though we’re not homeschoolers, we love stuff like that! Also, I forgot to say a big thank-you for the NYC books, movies, and other resources; I am going to put that to use immediately.
Thanks for the tip on the Living Science group. I’m all signed up.
You’re very welcome, Suji! And enjoy the book!
Susan, you’re welcome. I think almost all of us with kids in school are home schoolers of a sort. Have fun in NYC!
JoVE, de nada :)
